Top 10 Reasons to Love Winter



Bonne journée
Winter is my favorite season of them all! I'm more me than I've ever been in Winter. Like if I was anime character I would be Strongest during Winter. I love Love LOVE it so much!
And here's Ten Reasons Why:


10. Carbs are back in season!
Why do we eat more in winter? Our bodies need more energy to keep us warm, therefore increasing our appetites. Everyone’s in layers and bundled up so you can’t see your minor imperfections. This is why winter is so great – you can enjoy comfort food and because of all the layers, you don’t have to worry about that muffin top… yet!
Although IMO winter is kinda the best time to exercise because you wont sweat as profusely as you would in summer with the heat. The cold air will keep you fresh & in charge.


9. No Creepy Crawlies! 
Like Mosquitoes & Spiders. They all but disappear! No more finding a spider randomly scurrying across your desk or in a dark corner. No more waking up to find annoyingly itchy mosquito bites all over you.

8. Longer Nights & Best Sleep
In summer, the nights are so hot that even the thinnest blanket/duvet warms you up. So you end up tossing & turning all night. Sometimes you even have to sleep with a fan on all night just to get you through it. Yet when its winter, it's the simplest thing to go to bed & pass tfo immediately because you're so snug & warm & comfy under the blanket. Also if you're a night owl like me, you're more active a night & with winter's long starry nights, we get to be the most productive. Even the air is more crisp & breathable than it is in summer with that stuffy air while waiting & praying for any kind of breeze.
What I adore about this is the Sun, in summer is blistering & unforgiving but in winter, the sunlight emits a warm glow upon your skin. In those sun-touched moments, I find one of the best kinds of sleep. Where like with the fable of Goldilocks, it's not too hot, it's not too cold but it's just damn right!
7. Ice Skating
I've loved this ever since my first time when I figured it was just like rollerblading & I knew how. It's been my go-to for taking someone on a date especially if they aren't great at it because it offers the opportunity to hold hands to help keep em steady.{wink wink hint hint cough cough} Granted you can skate all year round but it's especially more appealing in winter. 
My favorite place to go to is the Northgate Mall Ice Rink
The play EPIC music & even have special lighting to flow with the music!
The staff are amazing & helpful. 


6. White Hot Chocolate 
One of my favorite hot beverages of all time. There's something so sinisterly & sinfully delectable about it. Like I might be condemned to hell for all of eternity just for tasting something so heavenly.

5. 5 More Minutes
To curl up under the blanket in the morning before you have to get up. It's like the coldness reaches its peak but you're in that sweet spot of ABSOLUTE comfyness under that blanket that your brain doesn't want to even entertain the thought of getting up. So you curl up into the fetal position to enjoy the ABSOLUTE comfyness for one last final time before getting up.
4. Long Hot Shower in the Morning 
So you're up & out from the ABSOLUTE comfyness. Head straight for the Shower, do not pass begin, do not collect nothing. Just go. It's the Only thing that makes up for having to get up from the ABSOLUTE comfyness. The way the hot water envelops your body, it's like heavenly honey melting from your head all the way down to your toes. You're in a cacoon of melting heaven all over your body. So much so that you forgot the time, all that matters is an endless stream of warm water over every inch of your skin.

3. Warm Comfy Clothes
One of if not my favorite thing about winter. The clothes! Big bulky jackets, Beanies, Gloves, socks, pyjamas, onesies and the list goes on. Layers upon Layers of clothes. Even for someone like me who always runs hot, come winter time I get to cover myself in snug clothes without burning up.

2. Snuggles & Cuddles with bae 
FYI bae can also mean your dog/s &/or cat/s 
Now this is ABSOLUTE comfyness squared! Yes it might be super sexy at times to have a sweaty & steamy hanky panky but in winter nothing beats snuggling up with bae in front a fireplace or under the blanket or even while out with friends. It's like the perfect excuse to snuggle them close to you. 
YES!!!

1. Netflix & Chill / Movie Marathon / Read Books under warm blanket
Basically any indoor activities or event under a warm blanket. Add White Hot Chocolates, some popcorn fresh of the stove/microwave, onesies, snuggles with bae & you've got the BEST night ever right there! Harry Potter Marathon incl.

  4. Definitely an opportunity to catch up Netflix! In the winter it gets dark much earlier so outdoor fun is limited.

    Yes, I also love winter. Summers just drains me out soon much because of too much hit. Also, I love longer nights and sleep time.

  14. I live in a tropical country and have not really encountered cold winter but I like the idea of watching or reading a book under a cold blanket

  15. Nice list! What I don't like about winter is having to wear thick clothing. I am used to the light and cool clothes. So jackets and all that are too straining on my neck and back. pfft.

  17. Personally, I don’t love winter...I am a summer girl :-) But I think with the right person ( your love one) each season can be perfect...even in winter, because he can warm you :-) ...I am a bit romantic!
